Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1224

Rubbing her daughter’s head, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "The baby will like everything from our Xiao Huang. Now, let’s go inside—your father and brother are waiting for us."

"Okay!"

Dong Huang placed the fish in a basin of water, washed her hands, and hurried into the living room with her mother.

During dinner, Li Chenmo kept putting food into his wife’s bowl, while Lu Jueyu focused on eating.

Sitting beside them, Dong Li was surprised to see his mother’s appetite. Compared to usual, she was eating two or three times as much. He knew pregnant women tended to eat more, but this seemed excessive.

Glancing at his father, he noticed Li Chenmo remained calm, continuing to serve his mother food. Since neither of his parents seemed concerned, he slowly let go of his worries. He was sure that if his mother felt unwell, she wouldn’t just keep eating.

With that reassurance, he finally relaxed and enjoyed the meal. His mother’s cooking was the most delicious food he had ever eaten. He should taste it carefully.

Meanwhile, at Aunt Lin’s house, Liu Hua sat across from her and said, "Aunt Lin, I’m sorry to visit you so late. I heard that Uncle Lin had a heat stroke, so I brought some cucumbers and mung beans from Jueyu. Eating a cucumber while working can help reduce the risk of heat stroke."

When Aunt Lin saw the plump, fresh cucumbers, her eyes lit up. Everyone knew how good Lu Jueyu’s vegetables were. Although her husband did need these things, she felt too embarrassed to accept them.

She hesitated and said, "Liu Hua, these must have cost you a lot of money. How can I accept them?"

Liu Hua smiled and replied, "Aunt Lin, you are my mother-in-law’s best friend, and you have helped my husband a lot in the past. My husband and I already see you as family. Just treat this as a small token of our gratitude."

Hearing this, Aunt Lin’s eyes turned red with emotion. She said, "If Xiao Li’s mother were still alive, she would be delighted to have you as her daughter-in-law."

She let out a sigh, then smiled and added, "Since you have said so, I won’t refuse this gift. Thank you, Ah Hua."

Seeing this, Liu Hua nodded and continued, "Aunt Lin, besides this, I actually have a favor to ask."

Aunt Lin nodded and gestured for her to continue, "Just tell me what you need. If I can help, I definitely will."

Liu Hua sighed and said, "It’s about my cousin and Brother Ermu—they are planning to get married. Although my cousin has cut ties with my uncle and his family, she is still my sister."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Today, my uncle and his wife even went looking for trouble with her. There is no way he will help arrange her wedding, so I was wondering if you would be willing to help us with it."

Aunt Lin’s expression darkened as she frowned and said angrily, "Your uncle is really too much! I said back then that the Huang family wasn’t a good family, but he refused to listen and forced your cousin into that marriage."

"Because of his foolishness and his wife’s selfishness and greed, your cousin’s life was almost ruined. Fortunately, she was able to escape."

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Aunt Lin continued, "After all these years, Ah Piao and Ermu are finally together—it must be fate."
